=The Examine method=
There is already a method to examine the inventory or an item so find this code:

<syntaxhighlight lang=c#>
private static void Examine(List<Item> items, List<Character> characters, string itemToExamine, int currentLocation)
        {
            int Count = 0;
            if (itemToExamine == "inventory")
            {
                DisplayInventory(items);
            }
            else
</syntaxhighlight>

An if statement controls if it is the inventory or an item which is examined. We can change this if statement to also add the room, by adding an "else if" into this if statement. So change the code to the code below:

<syntaxhighlight lang=c#>
private static void Examine(List<Item> items, List<Character> characters, string itemToExamine, int currentLocation)
        {
            int Count = 0;
            if (itemToExamine == "inventory")
            {
                DisplayInventory(items);
            }
            else if (itemToExamine == "room")
            {
                    Console.WriteLine();
                    Console.WriteLine();
                    Console.WriteLine(places[characters[0].CurrentLocation - 1].Description);
                    DisplayGettableItemsInLocation(items, characters[0].CurrentLocation);
            }
            else
</syntaxhighlight>

The code to write the room description in the else if is lifted from the PlayGame method. The issue you will now have is that places doesn't currently get passed into Examine so we need to change that:

<syntaxhighlight lang=c#>
private static void Examine(List<Place> places, List<Item> items, List<Character> characters, string itemToExamine, int currentLocation)
</syntaxhighlight>

=Using the new Examine Method=
We now need to change the main switch case statement in PlayGame. Look for the code below:

<syntaxhighlight lang=c#>
                    case "examine":
                        Examine(items, characters, instruction, characters[0].CurrentLocation);
                        break;
</syntaxhighlight>

The word Examine should be underlined because we aren't currently passing the right parameters, so change it to this:

<syntaxhighlight lang=c#>
                    case "examine":
                        Examine(places, items, characters, instruction, characters[0].CurrentLocation);
                        break;
</syntaxhighlight>
